In the Europa League opener, veteran Olivier Giroud headed OSC Lille to a relieving goal just before the end, securing a 2-1 home victory against the Norwegian team Brann Bergen.

The Frenchman set a new record in the process. At 38 years and 360 days old, he is the oldest substitute player in Europa League history to score a goal.

Giroud had just signed a contract with the French first division club in July, extending until 2026.

In the second early evening Europa League match, FCSB Bucharest managed a 1-0 win against the Go Ahead Eagles. The only goal of the evening for the Romanians was scored by David Miculescu after just 13 minutes.
